USPSTF Update

Over 6 years later the USPSTF has yet to update the screening guidelines and we're seeing more and more men show up with mets and distant mets.

The USPSTF is such a sham group of "experts in disease prevention" mitigating the financial exposure and demand on the Industrialized Healthcare Complex. Since the ACA was enacted the USPSTF gained power to create screening guideline recommendations for primary care.

While Dr. David Grossman with Kaiser Permanente was on the panel of the 2012 group he led the 2018 USPSTF Recommendations.

When you read the 2018 recommendations it states, "Current results from screening trials show no reductions in all-cause mortality from screening."

Released concurrently with the 2018 USPSTF Recommendations was Kaiser Permanente's study of 400K of their own patient population that stated there's a 64% reduction in prostate cancer related death and a 24% reduction in all cause mortality with annual screening. And the 2018 Recommendations also stated the other narrative of "over treatment" has no empirical evidence to quantitify how much over treatment there is, but yet this is the narrative still regurgitated.

At the end of the day we can see the games that are played by the USPSTF to mitigate the Industrialized Healthcare Complex's exposure to prostate cancer screening. The ACA was another big sham that did nothing but build in easier profits by moving to an evidence based system where the "experts" get to interpret the evidence how they choose.

Sadly, until we get an appropriate screening recommendation in place will we get ahead of this disease. In the interim, you're an acceptable loss!
